Oh, geez, the blood suckers are out already. Class action #1: Thursday December 9, 7:37 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Entwistle & Cappucci LLP Entwistle & Cappucci LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Tyco International Ltd. NEW YORK, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Pursuant to Section 21(D)(a)(3)(A)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ''Exchange Act''), Entwistle & Cappucci LLP, a prominent New York law firm specializing in securities litigation, hereby gives notice that a class action lawsuit for violations of the federal securities laws has been filed against Tyco International Ltd. (''Tyco'' or the ''Company'') (NYSE: TYC - news) and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of all persons who purchased Tyco common stock between December 10, 1998 and December 8, 1999, inclusive (the ''Class Period''). The complaint charges Tyco and certain of its officers and directors with violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleges that defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning Tyco's financial condition and future growth prospects. Specifically, the complaint charges that defendants had taken ''accounting baths'' related to certain acquisitions in order to improve future period operating results. Prior to the disclosure of the adverse facts described above, certain insiders sold over 1.5 million shares of Tyco to the investing public at artificially inflated prices. These sellers realized over $170 million in proceeds from these insider trading activities. Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of Class members and is represented by the law firm of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP, which has significant experience in both prosecuting and defending complex business, securities and antitrust actions on behalf of individuals, corporations, government entities and other institutions. Entwistle & Cappucci's attorneys have personally handled cases resulting in significant recoveries to defrauded investors. The firm currently serves as Lead Counsel and/or as a member of the plaintiff's Executive Committee in many high profile securities class actions now pending throughout the country. Entwistle & Cappucci's work in representing financial institutions, venture capital, and asset management funds in a variety of complex commercial disputes and transactions, further positions it to bring a unique perspective to the prosecution of complex litigation. If you purchased Tyco common stock during the Class Period, December 10, 1998 through December 8, 1999, you may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff no later than February 7, 2000, if you so choose. In order to serve as lead plaintiff, however, you must meet certain legal requirements. If you wish to discuss this action, wish to participate in the action as a class representative, or have any questions concerning this notice, or your rights or interests with respect to this matter, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Vincent R.
